Lake Dardanelle State Park will host the Autumn in Arkansas event on Oct. 20. Throughout the day, programs will be focused on the Autumn season where visitors will get a chance to join in some fun, fall festivities.

Lake Dardanelle State Park welcomes some local farmers from the Tri-Peaks Community Market, which is held on Saturdays from 8-11 a.m., to join the fall fun and educational activities during the event. During this one day event, local farmers will sell products from their fall harvest while educating the public about preparations and the tasks they endure as local farmers. You will get an opportunity to purchase local fresh food, adding to your picnic to help celebrate the “Picnic in the Park” event which is also being held that weekend. Healthy food in your picnic basket helps make people healthy.

Everyone is invited to visit Lake Dardanelle State Park on this day and help support local food and farming organizations. The farmers will be located in the park across from the visitor center from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please join us and find out what is truly good about local food and farms and the benefits of having these resources in our communities.
